Lest talk of cities like New York, Paris & London.. lets make out the differences..
I would be biased if i propose London as the best bet for commute, to provide reason..I find London more comfortable to commute out of the two cities, reasons could be connectivity between different cities to & fro from London is awesom.. never had a ugly experience.. contigency was always well planned and executed..undoubtedly best service with regard to time & comfort.. I used to travel from London to Brighton daily.. door to door would be 2hrs atleast..but had a comfortable journey all the time..
Even we had the luxury of chosing differnt transport like public transport BUSES..
frequency and alternate arrangements were well informed in advance...Maps,tour guides..excellent, best part was the division of city segregated into zones..
and transportation was based on zone passes for day/week/monthly basis.. good concept i would say..tht eliminates the requirement of having separate bus passes as compulsion.. with a travel card, customer can avail bus and train (called as tube) services...hazzle free travel across zones.. with plenty of differnt services operating with joined hands..
Paris, on the other hand, did gave a similar feel except on late night services..
found difficult communicating... apart from tht it was excellent..
I was surprise to see New York only with transportation medium as Subways..
travelling to NY wasnt easy... to mention details.. i am staying in Journal square..
need to commute to Warren,NJ
left with no other option..i mean no better option than to have own a car/rent it/or car pool... other alternative is to catch a train (PATH-Rail service) to WTC and then catch company bus to Warren, sad part is company bus is available only once in a hour.. Within NewYork, commuters can choose to use SUBWAY..
After I studied New York History at SUBWAY , I learnt that the majority of the New York Subway system was completed between 1904 and 1918...awesom isnt it..
